Health knowledge made personal

Though Dr. Young and the health department say there is a diagnosis, a father of one of the ill girls Jim DuPont says otherwise. He also says that even he has not been told why his daughter and the other girls fell ill, as state health officials are keeping the true cause under wraps. "Want to know something? If my daughter had a diagnosis and I knew about it, and I would as her parent, I would tell you that!" said DuPont to WHAM 13. "These girls all go to the same neurologist and there is no diagnosis. They don't know what's causing it. That's why we're all here at this meeting." The problem with this scenario is that, as far as I can ascertain, none of the parents have said anything about their daughters receiving the vaccine. "You feel frustrated and helpless because you don't know what you can do." - Jim DupontI will keep you updated on this story as I get more updates.

A dozen girls who attend the same school in LeRoy, New York have fallen ill with a neurological illness which manifests itself in Tourette's like symptoms of tics and uncontrolled spasms. During a meeting Wednesday night at LeRoy High School, representatives from the state health department, the Western New York Region of the State Office of Mental Health and the school superintendent had no answers for a very concerned community. The girls began falling ill last September and, so far, doctors have been unable to tell parents of the ill girls or the public what has caused the 12 girls' symptoms.
Dr. Gregory Young, Associate Commissioner of the State Health Department said, "We have conclusively ruled out any form of infection or communicable disease and there's no evidence of any environmental factor."
Still, Young says there is a diagnosis but also tells the public that it is a "national matter" of the HIPPA laws that is preventing them from divulging the diagnosis of the 12 LeRoy High School girls.
